Sub Woofer Center SET UP Front Left Front Right Surround Right Surround Left Listening Position memo • Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV. • When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV. • Install the center speaker above, below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. • If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level. • It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. 15 <ARB7181> OPERATION CAUTION: When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker. Preparations Setting Up for Surround Sound Be sure to switch the power of this unit on (The STANDBY indicator goes out).

TV/VCR FL DIMMER Additional Information Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a compression format which records the sound of 6 channels of the theater surround system (Dolby Digital) on the movie film digital track. Of the 6 channels, the sub woofer channel is intended for bass only, and because the frequency range is smaller than the main channel, it is expressed as 5.1 channel. Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby surround multi-channel digital system that was developed after the Dolby Surround System and Dolby Pro Logic Surround System. 4 channel analog sound track (Matrix) 5.1 channel digital surround track AC-3 encoding AC-3 for motion pictures The number of movies made using Dolby Digital since 1992 has exceeded 300 and continues to increase. For compact disc players and laser disc digital sounds, 16 bits are used to sample the original analog audio waveform and sampling is carried out 44,100 times every second. However because an enormous amount of recording signal data is required for the multi channel system with this method, AC-3 is used to compress the data. In reproducing audio signals, the smaller the bit number used, the lower the sound quality. With AC-3, drop in auditory sound quality is prevented by using masking technology and digital filtering technology based on the personal auditory characteristics. Laser disc format Laser discs are now available on the market in large numbers. This means that the recording of different format audio signals on the laser disc raises the important question of compatibility with existing laser discs. Dolby Digital records signals using one analog audio channel to maintain this compatibility with existing discs and players. As shown in the following figure, the digital audio sounds of Dolby Digital discs can be played back as currently done. Analog sounds are played back by using the other channel without the Dolby Digital signals for monaural audio signals. Dolby Digital sound (Monaural) Analog sound (Monaural) Video Digital sound 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 MHz Frequency Comparison with Dolby Pro Logic Surround Dolby Digital is also known as the 5.1 channel system. It is equipped with 5 channels (front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right) in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and an independent sub woofer channel. The sub woofer channel is also called LFE (Low Frequency Effect). The LFE channel can be used as desired to enjoy strong bass sounds. The table on the next page shows the comparison with Dolby Pro Logic Surround effects. 52 <ARB7181> Additional Information DTS DTS has been adopted as a sound recording format in the latest movie theaters since the release of “JURASSIC PARK” in 1993, and has a good reputation for high quality sound and dynamic surround effects. In this system, 6 channels of digital sound are recorded on CD-ROM, not on the film. It adopts a simultaneous playback format. With a low rate of compression of sound signals and a high rate of transmittance, higher sound quality format is produced. Also, unlike the process of recording digital sounds on film directly, the only components required are a CD-ROM player as might be used with a personal computer and a DTS processor, and therefore less investment is required than with other formats. For this reason, the format is being introduced in more and more movie theaters, and is being adopted in home movie software (DVD, LD) and music software (5.1 channel CD). More than 11,000 movie theaters around the world have adopted the DTS format, which is now the most popular digital format for movie theaters, especially in U.S.A, Europe, and Asia.

Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Decibel Level 30 40 50 60 70 80 Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
